Abstract

Studies were conducted to identify the enzymatic activity of isolated entomopathogenic fungal isolates. Results showed that the maximum lipase activity was recorded by B2 (1.09 U ml−1) followed by M. flavoviride var. minus (1.11 U ml−1) and Bb 111 (1.03 U ml−1). All were on par with each other.
